 The Eden at Home Series has a grassroots quality focused on improving quality of life for Elder(s) living at home and other members of their care partner team. By our definition, care partners include family, friends, neighbors, volunteers, home health professionals, and the Elder herself. You don’t have to be an active care partner to benefit from an Eden at Home Care Partner Workshop. The material is designed to touch the lives of anyone interested in building sensitive, supportive communities.The Eden at Home Journey involves three steps… VISION: Reframe perspectives about aging, disability and Elderhood EDUCATION: Gain practical tools for building our care partner team IMPLEMENTATION: Develop a shared approach to keeping the team strong & collaborative Our Care Partner Workshop includes four 3-hour sessions… Session One: The Big Picture Covers the big picture view of Eden at Home via Principles 1 & 2 of the Eden Alternative® and builds the foundation for the practical lessons learned in the remaining sessions. Session Two: The Antidotes Explores Principles 3, 4, & 5, which provide the antidotes to the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, & boredom. This session focuses on how the plagues impact everyone on the care partner team, and offers practical tools for transcending them together. Session Three: Redefining Genuine Care Challenges us to refine how we define ‘care’ and how we offer it through Principles 6, 7 & 8. Care comes in many packages – here we look at how to apply everything learned so far in practical, yet revolutionary ways that create a life worth living. Session Four: Supporting Your Process How do we take good care of ourselves AND each other as members of a care partner team? What do we need in order to work together effectively and respectfully? This section reflects on Principles 9 & 10 to demonstrate the skills needed to respond to and integrate the joys and challenges of care partnering. |
